14. 2 pts-- The Brady Bunch Hour- This comedy/variety series ran on ABC from January to May 1977. A lot of players mistakenly put The Brady Bunch as their answer. However, that answer is incorrect because on The Brady Bunch Hour, Jan Brady was played by Geri Reischl. According to imdb.com, Eve Plumb (the original Jan) agreed to do the pilot plus 5 episodes of The Brady Bunch Hour. However, the network insisted on a 13 episode contract with a 5 year option and Eve's father wanted her to have only limited involvement.

Below is a clip from an episode of The Brady Bunch Hour. Look for the appearance (at the 3:54 mark) of cast members from another 70s show included in this quiz!



15. 6 pts-- The Girl with Something Extra- This sitcom, which starred Sally Field and John Davidson, ran on NBC from 1973-1974. It focused on a newly married couple (John and Sally Burton) and the misadventures they get into once John discovers that Sally has ESP. Despite airing after Sanford & Son (which was the #3 ranked show on TV), The Girl with Something Extra was canceled due to low ratings. To date, this has been Sally Field's last attempt at a weekly sitcom.
